Bauman's work is put into its social and historical context, revealing why Bauman matters.
用户评论
Tester书中尤为看重Bauman思想中的possibility，面对社会的异化，恢复人的可能性与创造性是社会学的天职，即使这种想法在权力、常识眼里跟堂吉诃德大战风车一样。
清晰概述鲍曼80岁前著述，侧重literary/poetic/ethical文化社会学维度。相比其他著作，有限篇幅内对其波兰时期思想及对共产体制的体验、分析介绍详细珍贵。但因作者立场鲜明，一定程度上构建了去“后现代转向”的鲍曼。作为入门概述，有诱惑，有陷阱
鲍曼生平与思想史。选读1 critical thinking and human possibility。讲鲍曼的文体，humanism。对此我是抱有疑虑的。可能是人文话术听太多产生抗体。the humanistic current indentifies sociology as a primarily aesthetic activity that is a response to the contemporary human condition.
